WHAT IS SAFETIPIN?
Safetipin is a social impact organisation working towards Building Responsive, Inclusive, Safe and Equitable Urban Systems. We collaborate with government and non-government stakeholders in using big data to improve infrastructure and services in cities.
My Safetipin is a personal safety app that helps you make safer decisions about your mobility, based on the safety score of an area. The app is free for all and uses crowd-sourcing to collect data. At the core of the app, we have the Safety Audit which is a tool to analyse a given area based on the physical and social infrastructure parameters.
Safetipin Nite is an app that is used to collect photographs in the night-time. This is done by mounting the phone with the app on it on the screen of a moving vehicle. The app is not available on the Play Store or the App Store. We provide the APK to our partners that can be used by the drivers who will be navigating the area. As the drivers drive around an area, the app automatically clicks photos every 30 meters. These photographs are then uploaded and analysed by our team based on the 8 audit parameters as well as various sub-parameters.
It is a web application designed to collect information on selected public places or public services through a detailed questionnaire, pictures, and spatial data. For example, condition of public toilets, bus terminals, safety audits inside the buses, last mile connectivity around metro/train station or bus stop etc.
